About BIack-Headed Pins.

Sitting alongside a lady in the eio-
waited train the other day, writes an OBJ
servant New Yorker, she had occasion
TO adjust a portion of her dress which
was fastened with a black pin, when
the head broke in fragments and dis
closed the fact that it was some kind of
composition fastened on a broken
needle. Curiosity led me to make
some inquiries, and l found that nearly
all the back-headed pins in the market
are made from needles which are
broken in the factories in testing the
eyes. Any one who has handled the
black-headed pins has probably noticed
their remarkable sharpness as COM
pared with the ordinary white pins
sold in the market. This is the expla-
nation-that they are old needles. -

A Careful Nurse-GirI.

The Hibernian's idea of being care,
full is sometimes rather peculiar. A
lady who had recently engaged an
Irish nurse-maid said to her one day,
while walking in The garden:
MARY, wrap the baby up very care
fully, and bring him out to me-"
"Yis, num-" glibly replied Mary,
and straightway departed.
She presently returned, bringing
the infant bundled and bound in
shawl-strap.
You unfeeling creaturer" shrieked
the poor mother, frantically. you
will kill the childI'
Not at all, mum, not at all. YoS
towld me to be careful, an l am. The
choild was so HWY, thoughta shawl
shtrap was the safest way to carry
him. - Youths Companion

From the oven with fragrance came greeting!

Quite man-like and hungry, but stay there.
